Random Surgical Quotation

Quote

"From the time of Hippocrates surgery has ever been the salvation of inner medicine. In inner medicine physicians have dwelt too much in dogmas, opinions and speculations; and too often their errors passed undiscovered to the grave. The surgeon, for his good, has had a sharper training on facts; his errors hit him promptly in the face."
